Quick ? more focused to the managers of the group: personal appts (dentist, doc, etc) obviously we would have this planned but is it minimum 3 weeks of advance notice or is that based on by department manager in terms of their schedule planning. What about unplanned? As much as I like planning things, i dont have the power to plan medical issues - I was told i needed to 1: have someone cover my shift and find someone ASAP and the put it in workday; 2: when i said i can work but leave 1.5 hours before my shift ends to make the appt - that was a hard no… at the last hour found coverage. However the covering employee is now on day 7 of working straight lol. The employee said can i cover one of her shifts so we can follow the no working past 6-day consecutive work day rule. However, if I do that it would make me be working 7 days straight. 🤣 looks like ms thang will have to sit on the manager workday scheduler and figure it out. Meanwhile all that would have been lost was 1.5 hours on a Monday had i just worked and left early. *TL;DR - could i have just worked my shift and left early or one does indeed need to get a full day coverage for one doc appt?*

Like i get it, we get busy but like breaks are a total disaster in my department!? Ok we have the red book and fine things maybe get delayed 15-30 minutes but no one seems to wanna cover for anyone. It doesnt seem team focused - i saw people come to our area to help but only looked…. Its so stupid. The DM then sends a teams meeting wanting people to go see her individually and only one person should be on break at time and we have to message the teams channel who is on break. DM to me is putting breaks too much on us which there is no team morale. It starts from the DM before things got busy i was finger spacing the section next to us and was told “what are you doing there? We dont worry about that area” with literal racks looking like a disaster at opening. Sigh. Ok i guess im venting lol idk if its just me but the manager should be more on top of us going on break, and setting the tone…. This is my opinion maybe i am the wrong one. Mind you i should have gone on break at 2pm but its now 4::15pm. AND btw, red book says i would have had 2 associates in my area for today. Never once did i see them in the area, not ONCE.

Hi, if there is any employee here... salesperson. what is up with this redbook at the register... teammates look at it but they dont seem to pay attention to it, in other words, like they tell me oh we dont follow that... why tf are the managers spending time HAND writing this when it is not even respected?
